Answer:
25%
Explanation:
The percentage increase in sales from 2016 to 2017:
= Increase in sales / Base year * 100
= (875,000-700,000) / 700,000 * 100
= $175,000/700,000 *100
= 0.25 * 100
= 25%

Answer:
see explanation
Explanation:
Hi, your question is incomplete, I tried to look for it online but I could not find it. Here is an explanation on the steps to solve the problem.
Step 1 : Determine the Total Materials Cost
Total Materials Cost
Opening WIP cost $310,000
Costs added during the period $40500
Total $350,500
Step 2 : Total Equivalent units for materials
Equivalent units for materials = Completed units + Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory.
Step 3 : Unit equivalent cost for materials
Unit equivalent cost = Total Cost ÷ Total equivalent units
Step 4 : ending work in process inventory cost
Ending work in process inventory = Unit equivalent cost x equivalent units in ending work in process with respect to materials
Lafayette, Inc. was incorporated on January 1, 2014. Lafayette issued 15,000 shares of common stock and 800 shares of preferred stock on that date. The preferred stock is cumulative, $100 par, with an 12% dividend rate. Lafayette has not paid any dividends yet. In 2017, Lafayette had its first profitable year, and on November 1, 2017, Lafayette declared a total dividend of $44,000. What is the total amount that will be paid to common stockholders
Answer:
$5,600
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total amount that will be paid to common stockholders?
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$44,000-[(800 (12%)($100)*4]
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$44,000-($9,600*4 )
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$44,000-$38,400
Total amount paid to common stockholders=$5,600
(2014-2017=4)
Therefore the total amount that will be paid to common stockholders is $5,600
On January 1, a company issued and sold a $440,000, 6%, 10-year bond payable, and received proceeds of $434,000. Interest is payable each June 30 and December 31. The company uses the straight-line method to amortize the discount. The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is:
Answer:
The carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.
Explanation:
Face value of the bond = $440,000
Proceeds from bond issue = $434,000
Discount on bond payable = Face value of the bond - Proceeds from bond issue = $440,000 - $434,000 = $6,000
Total number of seminual = Number of years of bond maturity * Number of semiannual in a year = 10 * 2 = 20
Discount amortizaton per semiannual = Discount on bond payable / Total number of seminual = $6,000 / 20 = $300
Carrying value after first interest payment = Proceeds from bond issue + Discount amortizaton per semiannual = $434,000 + $300 = $434,300
Therefore, the carrying value of the bonds immediately after the first interest payment is $434,300.

CVS pharmacy collects data from bar-coded products. These data can be evaluated and combined to monitor which CVS products are in demand by customers. CVS uses this method to track pricing data to make sure that CVS pricing is competitive. This is an example of _______.
Answer:
InfoScan.
Explanation:
A UPC is an acronym for universal product code. UPC is typically used for the identification of a specific product and its manufacturer (vendor) through a unique code that is printed on the product.
Basically, a universal product code (UPC) comprises of two (2) main parts;
A machine-readable barcode that contains sets of vertical black lines.
A unique twelve (12) digit number placed beneath or adjacent to the machine-readable barcode.
The first six-digits of the UPC represents the manufacturer and is printed on all of its products while the next five-digits is the product's unique reference number (item number) and the last digit is typically known as a check digit, used for the verification of the authenticity of a UPC.
Generally, the universal product code are usually scanned with a barcode scanner and this makes it easier to identify a product, as well as its price.
In this scenario, CVS pharmacy collects data from bar-coded products, which can be evaluated and combined to monitor its products that are in demand by customers. Also, this method is used to track pricing data to make sure that its pricing remains competitive among rivals. Thus, thiis is an example of InfoScan used for systemically scanning price information on products.

Three categories of activities (operating, investing, and financing) generate or use the cash flow in a company. In the following table, identify which type of activity is described by each statement
Operating Activity Investing Activity Financing Activity A company records a loss of $70,000 on the sale of its outdated inventory D and W Co. sells its last season's inventory to a discount store. Digiink Printing co. buys new machinery to ramp up its production capacity. Yum Brands distributes dividends to its common stockholders for the first
During the last year, Globo-Chem Co. generated $1,053.00 million in cash flow from operating activities and had negative cash flow generated from investing activities (-576.00 million). At the end of the first year, Globo-Chem Co. had $180 million in cash on its balance sheet, and the firm had $280 million in cash at the end of the second year. What was the firm's cash flow (CF) due to financing activities in the second year?
A. $471.25 million
B. $5.189.50 million
C. $282.75 million
D. $-377.00 million
Answer:
1. a. A company records a loss of $70,000 on the sale of its outdated inventory. OPERATING ACTIVITY.
Operating activities have to do with the day to day operations of the business.
b. D and W Co. sells its last season's inventory to a discount store. OPERATING ACTIVITY.
This is also a day-to-day operation of the business so it falls under operating activities.
c. DigiIink Printing co. buys new machinery to ramp up its production capacity. INVESTING ACTIVITY.
Investing activities have to do with the purchase and sale of capital assets such as financial assets in other companies or fixed assets. The machinery purchased here is a fixed asset so this will count as an investing activity.
d. Yum Brands distributes dividends to its common stockholders for the first. FINANCING ACTIVITY.
Financing activities have to do with the long term debt and equity of a company and this includes dividends so this falls under her.
2. Cashflow due to financing activities:
Cash Balance second year = Cash Balance first year + Cash Flows From Operating Activities + Cash Flows From Investing Activities + Cash Flows From Financing Activities
280 = 180 + 1,053 - 576 + Financing activities
280 = 657 + Financing activities
Financing cashflow = 280 - 657
= -$377 million

Swiss Furniture Company manufactures bookshelves and uses an activity-based costing system to allocate all manufacturing conversion costs. The following information is provided for the month of May:
Activity Estimated Indirect Activity Costs Allocation Base Estimated Quantity of Allocation Base
Materials handling $6,300 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Assembling $14,000 Number of parts 9,100 parts
Packaging $2,680 Number of bookshelves 910 bookshelves
Required:
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.What is the total manufacturing cost per bookshelf?
Answer:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 6,300/9,100= $0.69 per part
Assembling= 14,000/9,100= $1.54 per part
Packaging= 2,680/910= $2.95 per bookshelve
Each bookshelf consists of 10 parts. The direct materials cost per bookshelf is $32.
Now, we can allocate conversion costs to each unit:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Materials handling= 0.69*10= $6.9
Assembling= 1.54*10= $15.4
Packaging= 2.95*1 = $2.95
Total allocated costs per unit= $25.25
Finally, the total unitary manufacturing cost:
Total unitary manufacturing cost= 32 + 25.25
Total unitary manufacturing cost= $57.25

Elite Trailer Parks has an operating profit of $200,000. Interest expense for the year was $10,000; preferred dividends paid were $18,750; and common dividends paid were $30,000. The tax was $61,250. The firm has 20,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
Required:
a. Calculate the earnings per share and the common dividends per share for Elite Trailer Parks.
b. What was the increase in retained earnings for the year?
Answer:
a. Earnings per share = (Operating profit - Interest expense - Tax - Preferred dividends) / Common stock outstanding
Earnings per share = ($200,000 - $10,000 - $61,250 - $18,750) / $20,000
Earnings per share = $110,000 / 20,000 Shares
Earnings per share = $5.5 per share
Common dividends per share = Dividend paid / Common stock outstanding
Common dividends per share = $30,000 / 20,000 Shares
Common dividends per share = $1.50 per share
b. What was the increase in retained earnings for the year?
Increase in retained earnings = $110,000 - Common dividend paid
Increase in retained earnings = $110,000 - $30,000
Increase in retained earnings = $80,000
So, the increase in retained earnings for the year is $80,000.

Answer:
A bank currently has $100,000 in checkable deposits and $15,000 in actual reserves. If the reserve ratio is 20 percent, the bank has __$80,000__ in money-creating potential. If the reserve ratio is 14 percent, the bank has ___$86,000__ in money-creating potential.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Checkable deposits = $100,000
Actual reserves = $15,000
Required reserves = $20,000 ($100,000 * 20%)
Excess reserves = -$5,000 ($15,000 - $20,000)
Money-creating potential = $80,000 ($100,000 - $20,000)
Total amount of money the bank can create = $500,000 ($100,000/20%)
b) Checkable deposits = $100,000
Actual reserves = $15,000
Required reserves = $14,000 ($100,000 * 14%)
Excess reserves = $1,000 ($15,000 - $14,000)
Money-creating potential = $86,000 ($100,000 - $14,000)
Total amount of money the bank can create = $714,286 ($100,000/14%)
